THENORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY; ; TRIBUNE FfilBAY iEV'ENING, AUGUST. 1895.: : : KM El GENEEAL NEWS NOTES- .Underground London contains 30,000 miles of sewers. 34,000 miles of telegraph wires, 4.500 miles of water mains. 3,200 miles of gas pipe, all definitely fixed. The Horr-Harve' discussion has not changed a single mind on the silver question, but it has increased that tired feeling' more than any thing else that has lateh happened. Globe-Democrat. Mrs. Johanna Ivindberg. of St. Paul, Minn., was adjudged insane and taken to an insane as3lum, the lunacy having been caused by the excessive use of coffee. She drank live gallons of the beverage daily. Perry II. Thompson, the lock tender of Cumberland, Md., who recently received $700,000 from an uncle, intends to open a factory for the manufacture of cheap stockings where about five hundred girls will be etnplo-cd. The city of Philadelphia wanted a loan of SS0O.000. and, instead of following the Cleveland plan, and selling out to foreign goldbugs, has offered the loan in $50 bonds to its own citizens at three per cent. Other cities will watch the result of this experiment. llo Lung, the great Chinese bank er, who is negotiating the Chinese loan, says "Li Hung Chang is worth $500,000,000 in English money." His wealth is mainly in ' irreat rice fields and innumerable pawn shops, licensed by the gov ernment and very profitable. The old saying, "There's nothing like leather," finds its latest exem plification in the tests made of a leather gun at Sandy Hook on Tuesday. The leather gun had a steel core, and though it was looked on with suspicion.it stood thesever est test in a manner that won the admiration and wonder of all be holders. "What use will leather be put to next? Don't pray for rain, but save the water you have. God never does anything for us that we can do for ourselves. Build ponds and store the water for future use. Locate elevators and pump the water out upon the the land. Erect irrigating windmills and set them to work. In this day of age of the world God helps him who helps himself. Friend Telegraph. President Cleveland gave the na tives of Buzzard's Bay a shock a few days ago by entering the shop of the negro barber in the village and camlv awaiting his turn for a hair-cut. Everybody wanted to waive his right to being "next," but the president declined to permit theni to do so, and awaited his turn just like an American citizen. The barber was so agitated that he came within an ace of cutting a man's beard off instead of his hair. Jehu Switzler. of the Columbia River, who probably has more horses than an' man in the north west, has entered into contract with the Portland Canning Com pany to deliver 3.000 head of horses on the north head of the river at $2.90 per head. If he takes them across the railroad he is to receive $3 per head. It is understood that the horses are to be slaughtered and packed for Chinese trade. Mrs. Charles Stevens, of Guil ford. Me., lias in her possession a sea cheat which was once the prop erty of her great-great-grandfather, Richard Fas-eU, who. at the age ot fourteen years, was cabin boy on the Hag ship of the English fleet which, under command of General "Wolfe and assisted by a large land force, captured Quebec. September. 115'). This makes it certain that the chest is 136 years old. and no one knows how much older. The battle for reduced water! rates continue in Denver. The con-! test has been transferred from the city council to the courts, many consumers having refused to pay the regular toll ami sought protec-J tion in the courts. The struggle of the company to maintain its grip and pay dividends on exces-sive ; capitalization is said to have cost j quite a sum. A contribution ofj $2.'H)0 was made to the- campaign j fund last s-pring. Besides this snug roll, the company, it is said, blew in an additional $10,000 to elect its candidates for the council in various wards. Boudling comes high, but political corporations must have it. i Mr. John H. Parnell. brother of the famous home rule leader, has I been elected to Parliament from ; South Meath. After the death of Charles Stewart. Mr. Parnell moved j from Georgia and took possession of the family estate at Avondale. whereon is located "The Meeting j of the Waters." celebrated bv Moore. With his American expert- j ence as a guide, the new owner has J built up a novel and profitable in- dustry. in which he has little or no J competition. The estate now supr piies a little per cent of the umbrella handles used in the United States, the furze bushes which abound in ! in that section being utilized forj that purpose. Charles B. Rouse, a wealthy New York merchant, who served as a confederate private soldier during the war, has given $100,000 for a tund to collect and preserve the con federate relics of the war. N. H. "White, a wealth' farmer living near Beloit, Kan., has a tawny truss of whiskers over five feet long. Mr. White has not shaved in seventy years. He is five feet eight inches high, and when he lets his whiskers out at full length for an airing he has to straddle as he walks. Usually he winds them around his waist. Bishop Galloway, of the South ern Methodist church, is reported to have used these words in his ser mon at the Epworth League con vention in Chattanooga: "I have nothing but contempt for him who canonizes the man who goes to Africa to save the negro and ostra cises the man who stays in Chat tanooga to save the negro." The belief that the shallower parts of the bottom of the eastern Atlantic arc part ot a submerged continent once joined to the Ameri can mainland seems to be growing. A writer in the Westminster Re view says that the scientific evi dence in support of Plato's story of a lost Atlantic has recently multi plied a hundredfold. As a means of identifying crim inals with certainty it is proposed to take impressions of their thumb prints in wax. after the fashion of Mark Twain's hero, Pudd'nhead Wilson. Mr. F. Galton, who has written a book on the subject, says that the chances of two men mak ing the same thumb prints are less than one in 64,000,000. During a recent visit to Montana a prominent Chicago gentleman went with a party just starting for a grand "hunt for big game in the Yellowstone region." He remarked to the leader: "You cannot hunt in the Yellowstone Park." "Oh, no," said the leader: "we go out side the limits of the park, and if the game won't come to us we know how to manage to make it come." Such excursions are not uncommon and it will not be strange if hungrv Iudiaus should occasionally imitate their white brethren. There arc reports from 533 Brit ish elections, in which were elected 323 conservatives and 60 liberal unionists, together 383 supporters of Salisbury's government, while the whole opposition have only 210 members of parliament The ma jority of the cabinet is so over whelming, that even -without the support of the liberal unionists they have a majority of 113. and even if the latter should go against them, they would have yet a ma jority of 53 left. The elections not yet heard from will probably in crease this majority yet. Turkey is in a similar condition with the insurrection in Macedonia as Spain is with the revolution in Cuba. She finds that the trouble is assuming serious proportions, and has ordered the mobilization of 20,000 men for Macedonia. If there were an energetic ruler in Bulgaria a man like her former prince, and not such a weak character as the present Prince Ferdinand, now would be her chance to add Mace donia to her state and start an in dependent kingdom in spite of all Russian intrigues. But Ferdinand will betray Bulgaria as well as Macedonia, and then he will be cast aside. A big boom in wine-making is planned in some parts of California for the coming- season. In the northern Sonoma district last year many tons of fine grapes rotted on the vines, the supply being greatly in excess of the capacity of the wineries. All the leading wine makers of the district are now in creasing the capacity of their cel lers, the total increase being about 700.0(H) gallons, and many wineries not operated last season are being put in shape for a heavy season's run this year. Over 400 car loads of wine have been shipped out of the district in the past few months to make room for the new vintage. Grapes are selling there for from $10 to $15 a ton. Miss Martha Wilson of Mount Vernon, X. Y.. died recently, a.ud her heirs have now discovered that between her 87th and 90th years she spent $500,000. of which she was left in control by her sister. tp to her S7th year she was very penurious because she had little money. When her ship came in, however, she squandered money right and left. As a landlady she was ideal, it being her habit every now and then to send her tenants receipted bills for their rent, flow ers on Easter Sunday. lavish gifts on Christmas, and at other times checks for handsome amounts. Occasionally she would give a house to a friend. In this way the old lady managed to squander .he $500,000 in three yesrs. The WiU son heirs are now trying to get hold of the scattered estate, but they will not have ialf as much fnn as the old lady had xu spending- it. THE MAYA WOMEN. THEY ARE INTELLIGENT, SWEET TEM PERED AND BEAUTIFUL. In tli Olden Time These Wire of th First Own era of America Were thi Mothers of a Couraceoa Race, sad The JCerer Looked Into a Mirror. An unfamiliar word, but as old as tht hilLs almost, is this word Maya. Among the Brahmaus it means illusion and i: the name of the earth, the materia) -world, which, according to the Brah manical doctrine, is nonexistent as illusion. Maya Dovi was the name ol tho beautiful mother -of Buddha. Mays in the feminine energy .of, Brahma ana the mother of all the gods, even ol Brahma hin6elf. Any Greek dictionary informs us that Maya is the good moth er of all gods and men. In Japan the goddess Maya, is still "worshiped- The beautiful Indian poem "Ramayana" tells ns about a great navigator named Maya, who in ages long gone by took forcible possession of the countries at the sonth of the Hindoostanee peninsula and settled there. The Maya people of America -wore io olden tidies a great nation, occupying the territory comprised between the isth mus of Tehuantepec and that of Da rien. We know that they were naviga tors, their boats being depicted in very ancient books and paintings. In 1502, when Columbus came to America for the fourth time, ho met on the high seas a large boat, in which were men, -women and children. It also had a car go of merchandise, consisting of weap ons, tools, product of the earth and ready made garments. The travelers oalled themselves Mayas. They were in the habit of traveling to Cuba and other islands to trade with their inhabitants. The Mayas were neatly clothed in white cotton raiment. They wero self possessed and courteous. Fifteen years later their land, today called Yucatan, was invad ed by tho Spaniards, but it cost tho white men 2.1 years of warfare to get control of that country, for every Maya fought like a hero. They were sons of fearless mothers. In reading the works left by the Spanish chroniclers priests who ac companied the soldiers wo leara that the Maya women were very good look ing, as many are at the present day ; that they were charitable, sweet tem pered, industrious, modest and so free from vanity that they never consulted tho mirror, although their husbands did. In physique these -women were largo and beautifully shaped. Their complexion was a light brown, and their silky black hair very abun dant. Father Cogolludo, a Spanish priest, wrote, "These women are more beauti ful and hotter tempered than those of Spain." They always dressed them selves, us they do at the present timo, in flowing whito garments, and in their happier .,days were greatly addicted to tho use of perfumes and flowers. Thoy were industrious, devoted wives and fond mothers, but exacted great defer ence from their children. Their idea of modesty wero so strict that they did;not permit their daughters to look boldly into the face of a man, and vif a girl showed a want of thjmim the indignant' matron would pinch bar arms. After the Spaniards were in possession of the land they subjected these women to in dignities and cruelty. Among many other things it is recorded that in one villago they found two young women of remarkable beauty, one a bride, tho oth er a maiden, and they hanged both, so that thero should bo no trouble about them. Many young mothers were hung from trees and their infauts suspended from their feet. Those who escaped death were enslaved with their hus bands and children. Long ago, as far back as onr studies enable us to know anything about that nation, tho Maya women seem to havo enjoyed tho samo privileges as the men, to havo had equal power in politics and equal anthority. Today, when business is to bo trans acted, the wife takes the active part, her husband nodding his head affirmatively. It in not that- she desires to domineer, but because bo looks -np to her, relying on her judgment. She complies with admircblo moderation and modesty. She is eloquent and forceful without being loquacious, and she never scolds. When her hnsband gets himself into trouble, she pleads for him, being a more able reasonerthau ho is. If lie gets.intoxicat cd, sho guides him home. If he strikes her, she says, "Ho does not know what he is doing," regarding him with an gelic forbearance, so that domestic brawls are quite unknown. It is her pleasure to give liim the best of what they havo, keeping for herself tho worst. This woman's home has a thatched roof and earthen floor. She has no pret ty objects around her. Hammocks serve as seats by day as well as bods by night. Thero is one low chair or stool on which she site while her busy fingers niako the garments of tho family. In one comer stands a bench and grinding stones. Her hands grind all the corn used in that humble abode. Tho fire is built on the floor between three stones, on which rests tho clay pot or tho disk for baking tortillas. Ontsido at the back of the hut there is a long dugout, serving as a washrub, resting on trestles. There she stands for some hours every day, her small feet bare, soapsuds up to her el bows, yet her hands are small and pret ty, her voice is sweet and low, her Ian? gunge never rude, and if you approach her hut she welcomes you with such per? feet grace and self possession, mingled with cordiality, that you ask yourself if she i not a princess in disguise. She may be, but, alas S the palaces of her sires are crumbling away in the forests where her husband cats timber for his master, the white man, now owner of the soil. The dying race must bear its ,fate, and the Maya woman meets it nobly, with resignation and grace. Washington Post Irrigated Land for Sale.
